I realized this morning that I'm in the stage of our NICU journey when you just hold on for dear life and wait for it to end. The last giant drop in the time coaster ride.
Noah is growing, feeding and learning right now. He's learning to breastfeed (which is hard work for both of us!) and packing on the ounces. He averages a half an ounce a day in weight gain, sometimes 1 - 1 1/2 ounces in one day!
Our goal right now is 4 pounds, move to an open air crib and learn to bottle/breastfeed. Once he gets into the open air crib, the end will be in sight!!
So maybe we are on the slow climb to the top of the hill before we begin the crazy ride into bringing home a newborn.
